Keith:
I would buy these. What about the Kumho 758 which is 165/80/15?
Rgards,

Randall and John,
I too run the A321 on my BN7 and these tires are 6 years old. Great tire.
Very good wet and dry traction, nice look, good wear behavior. However,
these are approx equal in diameter to the 165 which I think look a bit
anemic in height on any BJ8. If you wish to register a plea to Yoko I would
definitely support it, but my personal preference would be, in order
175/15 if they can do them - these are 75 aspect ratio right?
185/70 15
The 175/15 as in the old Michs would look right on any big Healey from 100/4
through the BJ8. Perhaps a plea to Mich to run those would be in order. I
am ready right NOW for tires for my BJ8, but the 165s look too short and
narrow on my 5.5 inch wheels.
Just my .02
